Sam and Tyler talk about how well top overall prospect Byron Buxton was doing at Triple-A Rochester, where he was assigned after returning from a sprained left thumb injury sustained during his time in the Majors. (Note: Since taping of the pod, Buxton has been called up to the Majors by the Twins.)

Continuing on the theme of transactions, the guys wrap up the first segment by talking about Greg Bird's ascension to the Majors with the Yankees and how the first baseman should provide New York with some thump off the bench and some insurance for Mark Teixeira.

Billy Bean interview (15:15)

Following the news that Brewers prospect David Denson has announced that he is gay, MLB Ambassador for Inclusion and former Major Leaguer Billy Bean talks with Sam and Tyler at length about his involvement with Denson, how he judges the success of the LGBT movement and, yes, whether he gets confused for A's general manager Billy Beane. (You can listen to Denson himself HERE.)
